Bathroom/Bath sealent, I assume you mean caulking.
I would remove it completely (razor blade, scraper and elbow grease!) and then re-caulk with a mold-resistant caulking made for high moisture areas.
You could probably scrub or bleach the current job, but... it will probably come back.

I would probably go ahead and remove the old caulking. Simply take a straight edged razor or razor knife and carefully remove the old caulk from the base of the tub and the surround (sometimes tile). Once it is removed - spray a mixture of bleach water (one part bleach to two parts water) then rinse where the caulking once was. After it has dried, just run a new bead of caulk along the edge of the tub and smooth with your finger. This should provide better results than cleaning the old stuff.

Remove all the sealant. Clean with Tilex or other mildew remover. Let dry and reseal with sealant that is made for Bath and Kitchen, as it has a compound that resists mildew.

I use bleach. I find it much easier to get the thick toilet bleach put it on the mold and let it act for at least 15 min before I rinse with hot water.

I work in renovations. Bmwest has the right answer, this is what I do and it works if you are looking for a long-term "final" solution that is.

The "magic eraser" (cleaning sponge) works really really well on things like this. I use mine everywhere, & I even purchase the off brand & it works just as well.
good luck

Nitro-Glycerine, you get a bigger bang than Cillit.
